Huge basketball game today

[hailstate19]

Welcome to an evening of basketball Mississippi State style.

Not often you're an "underdog" to a 1-6 team. UK -1.5 right now. Here's to 1-7.

 

[ZombieKissinger]

I posted even before the UGA game saying I was expecting .500 in the SEC with a sheepish 13-5. That said, I’m not optimistic about today. It’s a great chance to beat a UK team that’s down, but they’re also better than 1-6 and have played good teams close. Would love to get the win today, but if we lose, the sky isn’t falling. We have a good season ahead of us regardless. Beating UK would be a huge step though. Looking forward to it

Welcome to an evening of basketball Mississippi State style.

will i get crushed today - i feel wooly about the game

 

[jethreauxdawg]

Yup

will i get crushed today

You must be a new State fan**

 

[Seinfeld]

Got a bad feeling that UK is going to miraculously find their way today and look like a final 4 team, but I hope we give them hell. I’ll say this... if we seriously knock off Calipari this afternoon, my cautious optimism for our men’s team will be as high as it’s been in a while

Slump Buster Ahoy.

It would be a good win for the program. We have a nice home stand coming up. 4 out of our next 5 are in Starkville after today.

If you can get to 2-0, you have to like your chances to be at the top of the SEC ranks headed into the middle of conference play.

Yep. When you look up with 3 minutes left in the first half and we have 13 fouls, and 3 guys with 3, and Kentucky has committed 2 fouls, and they are
18-19 from the Free Throw line, reality will set back in.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Kentucky travels with their own Refs.

 

[Antonio Brown's Foot]

Slump Buster Ahoy.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Kentucky travels with their own Refs.

Took a while but they just appeared.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

And again. Ok, I'll stop bc it won't.

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

Holy cow Post is awful.

 

[was21]

Why wear all freakin' maroon at home in BB. Guess Kentucky willed it

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Good half. Really good defense. I hope they can keep playing good D an not give too many easy fouls.

 

[RocketDawg]

Why wear all freakin' maroon at home in BB. Guess Kentucky willed it

Are you sure they're not black? Whether maroon or black, not wearing home whites seems to be a thing for us lately.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Sideshow Bob walks a good bit.

Your MSU Fandom PTSD is showing.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

This defense man. Smith out there making a lot of plays. He is gonna be real nice.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Take whoever gave you an upvote too. They apparently saw maroon too.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Suck it Calipari!

 

[PBRME]

Bye Cal

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Looks like Cal's plan is working.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

And we immediately got sloppy. Damn.

 

[PBRME]

Controlling the game. Cal ejected. KY makes a run.

 

[MissStFan87]

Yep. UK rallied around that. Better come out and respond quickly.

 

[Seinfeld]

Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers... oh and yeah, the worst 3 pt shooting team in the league is hitting 55% from the arc tonight. Shocked that’s happening

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Wow, that was terrible.

 

[DoomSlayer]

Horrible sequence there. I don’t know what the hell that was on the offensive side.

 

[MissStFan87]

Did our guys just assume the game was over with the ejection? The effort has been pathetic since.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

We are trying real hard to give them a win. Just a disaster of a run here.

 

[kired]

We’ve looked like a church league team these last 5 minutes

 

[CoastDawg18]

Well damn. It comes down to this.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Well, we are M State.

 

[Shmuley]

They can go right at Ado and either score or get to the line

 

[Seinfeld]

I don’t know what team that was for the final 9 minutes, but that was some trash basketball. My gosh, rebound the ball, quit turning it over, and get good looks

 

[Upyurs]

This team is trash. Play just like women. LAZY

 

[MissStFan87]

Please just run Molinar iso here, Howland. Clear out.
